It makes so much sense, it’s almost surprising it hadn’t happened already. The latest addition to the ever-expanding cast of Wednesday season 3 is Winona Ryder. Heading to the haunted halls of Nevermore Academy means she’s reuniting with her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice costar Jenna Ortega and her frequent director Tim Burton (the original Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands).
Netflix isn’t saying much about who Ryder is playing, other than that her character’s name is Tabitha.
And while she’s (understandably) getting most of the attention, several other names in Netflix’s latest cast announcement are quite intriguing on their own—including Chris Sarandon (yes, Prince Humperdinck himself) and Noah Taylor (character actor genius in everything from Vanilla Sky to Paddington 2 to Peaky Blinders). Sarandon is playing Balthazar, and Taylor is playing Cyrus.
They are also joined by Oscar Morgan (Gotham Knights) as Atticus, and Kennedy Moyer (Task) as Daisy; these folks all join the previously announced Eva Green (Casino Royale, The Golden Compass) as Ophelia Frump, the “long-lost sister” of Morticia Addams. I put that part in quotes both because it’s Netflix’s exact phrase, and because I am somewhat suspicious of long-lost relations.
Production has begun on season three, about which showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have this to say:
It’s our dark delight to fling open Nevermore Academy’s gates once more as we begin production on Season 3. We thank our invincible cast and crew for their continued commitment to doom and gloom. To the fans, we appreciate your patience and ravenous online commentary — your twisted theories have inspired nightmares. This season, we welcome new students, new teachers, and excavate some long-rotting Addams Family secrets. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
In other words, they’re not tellin’ you nothin’. The first two seasons of Wednesday are available on Netflix.[end-mark]
